Forgive!

5 Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you. 6 For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough, 7 so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 8 So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him. 9 For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything. 10 Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, 11 so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.

II Corinthians 5

Thank you for the important reminder that the Word is enough. Commentary, devotions, sermons are all wonderful and helpful, and even necessary at times, but the Word is always enough, Christ is always our sufficiency. You, sir, in addition to having a very impressive mustache, also have very beautiful feet!
